Description
Großer Rauhenkopf is a mountain summit in the Alps reaching about 1,600 meters and offers several well-marked hiking trails through varying landscapes. The routes pass through alpine meadows and forests that change appearance with the seasons.
History
The mountain served as a landmark for settlers in the Berchtesgaden region from medieval times, helping them navigate the rocky landscape. It became a recognizable feature of these older mountain communities and their relationship with the Alpine region.

Hikers can start from several trailheads, each with nearby parking areas for convenience. Good hiking boots and weather-resistant clothing are essential, as conditions in higher elevations can change rapidly.
